Self Portrait as a PowerPoint Proposal for an Amusement Park Ride2010

Interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker and publisher Jonn Herschend has said he was raised in an amusement park and his sense of the absurd certainly gives a certain credence to the claim. A simple PowerPoint proposal to tear down a make-your-own sandwich shop to make way for a thrill ride reveals the hidden world and fantasy life of the presenter. The film devolves into a hilariously compelling version of the drivers education short LAST DATE as the thrill ride is described in lurid detail and suspenseful music invades the film. - Marilyn Ferdinand
